  Why is it that I want to die,

but am scared of death?

That I want to cry,

but no tears are left?

I want to scream,

and I want to shout,

but when I open my mouth,

nothing comes out.

My thoughts force me into silence,

taping my mouth shut,

so instead I choose violence,

because words hurt more than a cut.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
